If you’ve been stuck at home like the rest of the world recently, you know how important it is to organize your bedroom. Living in a messy room only makes us sad and frustrated, and rightfully so. All that chaos around us only adds to our stress, and a clean, well-organized room has been proven to improve our mood and general mental wellbeing.

If you think that’s you, check here to learn more about it – but if you think your problem is a messy bed, keep reading to learn more about how to organize your room, especially if you think you have more stuff than you have room for.

Store Things Under Your Bed

Prime storage space that you’re probably ignoring is the space under your bed. If you want to make the most of the room you’re given, invest in some under the bed drawers and store your things inside. If you have more to spare, you can even buy a bed frame with storage built in.
If you want to increase the storage space, just raise the bed with the help of special “furniture elevators” you can find online. Sometimes drawers can be out of the question, but it’s completely fine even if you store things under the bed in cardboard or plastic boxes.
Whatever you store under the bed needs to be organized into boxes, and the way the boxes look doesn’t matter. If you just start putting things under the bed, that’s just going to turn into one big mess soon.

Sort Through Your Closet

If you feel like there isn’t enough room or that your bedroom seems disorganized no matter how often you clean it, it might be because you’re putting too many things in a single place. Overstuffed closets and drawers will never be fully organized, which is why decluttering your storage space is the essential first step to getting your bedroom in order.

Make three piles – one for the things you want to keep, one for the things you want to give away, and one for the things you want to throw away. Be honest with yourself about each item, and don’t keep more than you have space for. It might be hard to see some of your items go, but trust us when we say it’s for the best.

Use a Dirty Clothes Basket

Having a designated place for all your dirty clothes will be a lifesaver. If you’re short on space you can just hang a hamper behind your bedroom door and call it a day, and you can invest in a basket if you have room. This will keep you from throwing your dirty clothes all over the place and help you keep your room neat and tidy.

Shelves Under the Ceiling

That 12 inches of space under the ceiling is prime real estate for storage. Install a shelf in your room and store all your books, cardboard boxes full of sentimental pieces and much more on that space that would otherwise be lying around your room, creating an utter mess.

Baskets With Labels

If your closet is always a mess, see if using baskets helps. Get some clear plastic baskets from the supermarket and label them in categories like t-shirts, underwear, socks, and scarves.
This way, everything you need will be easy to find, and you’ll notice that your clothes are taking a lot less space in the wardrobe than they originally were. Win-win!
